The documented reason for this recall is: elevated levels for lead. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: distributed in AR, CA, GA, NC, NV, OK and UT.. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.
